Christmas in March

Christmas is better in March than July right?!?!

Since I am trying to catch up on my blog I figured I would post a few pictures from our time home during Christmas. We were really excited to be able to spend Christmas at home with our family this year. It has been four years since we have been able to make it home for Christmas. I just kept praying that our week at home would not go by fast so that we could enjoy every moment of it and I think we did!!!!

Here is Sophie and Molly.....you would think by this picture that these two get along...but don't be fooled!!! Sophie is my parent's dog.





It doesn't happen very often that we can get a picture of just the 4 of us.

My sister hosted Christmas.....here is a picture of her family! Thanks for hosting Steph....we had a great time!!!


Nana & Papa with their grandkids....

The kids wanted the dogs in their picture....

The girls still love playing with baby dolls

Waiting to come down the hall to see if Santa had made a stop at Nana and Papa's house.

A quick picture in front of the tree before they opened their gifts!

Notice their matching pj's.

Wonder what this could be??? The girls could hardly wait to open their gifts!

The girls got a DS from their Grammy and Grandpa......they love their DSI!!!

We enjoyed spending Christmas Eve with Jeremy's family!

Here the girls are sitting with their Aunt Duffy!

The girls had fun baking cookies with Nana

Christmas in March is good! Love the pictures.
Last sunday I was at a bridal shower, a young woman and a little girl walked in and I knew I had seen them somewhere before...... your blog! it was your sister and niece! I didn't get a chance to introduce myself to her as I had to leave early to attend another shower, but I am sure I will see her at the wedding in a couple of weeks......small world!

By the way, I just wanted to pat you guys on the back! Good job with the going away skate party, your girls are very lucky to have such caring loving parents! Moving can be such a trying time for everyone, hope all are settling in and adjusting.
Keep the pictures coming! Wendy

When I heard that Boomama was going to be having a Christmas Tour of Homes , I thought that sounded like so much fun because so many of our family and friends aren't able to make it out to visit us during the Christmas season. So here are a few pictures of our home decorated for Christmas. As you walk in our front door we have this little tree sitting in our entry way As you can see I really like snowman! This is leading into the family room... This tree is in our family room and it is decorated with all of our family ornaments. Each year we buy the girls an ornament that represents something from the year for that child. It is a tradition that I have continued from my childhood. My favorite ornaments are the ones that are homemade by the girls! This is our big tree that is more formally decorated and is in our living room. This is our third year with an artificial tree which is definitely less messy but we have had lots of fun with the pre-lite l

1 Year Later

Just the other day I was looking back at some of my posts and realized that I started our family blog 1 year ago this month. I can't believe it has already been a year. My first post was about celebrating the 4th of July at Mark and Jane's. On Friday we will be heading out to Mark and Jane's for another great 4th with our friends. I have really enjoyed keeping up with our family blog. I hope that you have also enjoyed reading each of my posts. My main reason for doing this blog was to keep in touch with our friends and family through various postings. I know that there are many of you who at one point or another have said to me that you have read our blog, I am just curious who is out there and reading this. So....in honor of our 1 year anniversary if you are reading this....please leave us a comment letting us know.
